ABOUT SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL Solidarités International (SI) is a French humanitarian organization that has been providing vital assistance to populations affected by armed conflict, natural disasters, and epidemics for over 40 years. Independent of any political or religious affiliation, SI specializes in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); food security and livelihoods; emergency shelter; and integrated multisectoral responses. SI operates in more than 23 countries, with 2,400 staff working to restore access to essential services and strengthen community resilience. Project overview Since December 1, 2022, and for a period of 48 months, SI, in partnership with the NGO Tammounde Esperanza, has received 1,000,000 in funding from the French Development Agency (AFD) (36% of the total budget) for the implementation of the project entitled "Supporting Civil Society for the Empowerment of Women and Youth in the Far North of Cameroon," whose simplified title is "EMERGENCE." From June 1, 2023, and for a period of 41 months, the Delegation of the European Union is also providing support through co-financing of this project to the tune of 1,738,318 (representing 64% of the total budget). Both funding arrangements will end on November 30, 2026. The overall objective is to contribute to strengthening the economic and social resilience of the populations of the Far North region of Cameroon. The EMERGENCE project targets 6 communes spread across 3 departments of the Far North region: Hina, Koza, Mozogo and Roua in the Mayo Tsanaga department, Mora in the Mayo Sava department and Makary in the Logone-et-Chari department. The EMERGENCE project aims to improve the governance, capacities and empowerment of the various local actors (groups, civil society and decentralized technical services) to strengthen them in their role as actors in local economic development and socio-economic integration. The project aims, in particular, to strengthen the capacity of civil society and local actors to achieve financial and technical autonomy for the supported agricultural groups, Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs), Community-Based Producer Groups (CGPEs), and Community Development Funds (FCEs), as well as to strengthen their participation in local natural resource governance bodies, particularly those related to water. The expected results at the end of the project are as follows: Result 1: The local NGO Tammounde is able to initiate, support, and strengthen local rural groups to achieve financial and technical autonomy. Result 2: The producer, youth, and womens groups and VSLAs supported by the project are able to sustainably develop their activities. Result 3: The participation of local organizations, users, and producers in local natural resource governance bodies, particularly those related to water, is strengthened.
